MARION, Ind. (WISH) — An Marion officer was involved in a police shooting Sunday morning after seeing a passenger in an SUV firing at a pedestrian, Indiana State Police said in a news release issued Sunday
Officers from the Marion Police Department just after 10:15 a.m. Sunday responded to a “shots fired” call near the intersection of West Fourth Street and State Road 18/South Western Avenue eastbound.
Investigators think that, as officers approached the intersection for the “shots fired” call, one of them saw an SUV matching a description from the initial report near West First Street and South D Street, a few blocks to the northeast. The officer, who was not named in the release, saw a passenger in the white SUV actively shooting at a pedestrian, believed to be the same target from the “shots fired” call. The officer then fired at the passenger, who fled on foot and remained at large on Sunday night.
No injuries were reported, although several homes were struck by gunfire.
The identity and duty status of the officer involved have not been disclosed, the release said.
The state police investigation, once completed, will be sent to the Grant County Prosecutor’s Office for review.
